Thermal coal prices showed modest adjustments. Metallurgical and chemical sectors maintained mostly need-based purchases. Higher portside prices set by major groups supported some increase in transport demand from railway stations, and a few mines with lower offers saw more truck dispatches, resulting in slight price upticks. However, most traders remained cautious, showing limited acceptance of high-priced cargoes. Some mines experienced weaker sales, and producers continued to closely watch port activity and daily consumption.
